SCHOOL RESULTS

The Lakes School has an excellent reputation for helping all of our students achieve the skills and qualifications they need to move in to their first choice University, apprenticeship or employment with training and we work hard to provide a caring environment within which students of all abilities can flourish. Young people can face a wide variety of barriers that might prevent them from making good progress at school and we take pride in helping our students to overcome those barriers.

If you would like to learn more about how we measure your child’s achievement then please contact Ms Rainey or Mr Jeremy to arrange a meeting.

Progress
One of the most important ways that we measure how successful we are as a school is in the percentage of students who make Expected Progress or Better than Expected Progress, particularly in English and Maths, but also across the full range of subjects studied.

Our ambitious aim is for 100% of our students to make expected progress or better. The national average is typically around 70% for English and Maths.

Attainment
Schools are also measured on their attainment figures such as the percentage of students who achieve 5 GCSEs at A*-C including English and Maths or the percentage of students who achieve 3 A-Levels at grades AAB or higher.

Attainment figures can fluctuate from one year to the next due to differences in the ability profile of each year group.

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, schools have been asked not to publish data about student outcomes for 2020 and 2021. However, we remain extremely proud of the achievements of Lakes School students who have continued to secure their first choice for further study post 16 and higher education or apprenticeship post 18.

GCSE Results Summary 2018
Once again, we have cause to be fantastically proud of our Year 11 students who have helped us secure further impressive improvements in our GCSE outcomes for the fourth year in succession. Well done to our Year 11 students who have all progressed to further study at The Lakes School Sixth Form or Kendal College – several of our students have also taken up apprenticeships and employment with training.

The schools comparison website does not present an accurate picture of our data for the summer of 2018 as it contains data for students who did not complete their education at The Lakes School (we are working to get this changed) so we have developed a letter below which sets out the progress we have made this year with our GCSE outcomes.
